Chapter 568 Convergence

The Styx was too dark. Even Gu Shen's mental strength couldn't spread too far.

After the transaction was completed.

He saw a vaguely flickering "light spot" in the dark river water...

That should be the direction the devil pointed for him.

"What is that light spot?"

Gu Shen didn't rush to set off, but asked.

"Sorry... answering this question is not within the scope of the previous transaction."

The devil said casually, "I am only responsible for pointing you in the direction. Everything else is irrelevant to me. If you want to remove and absorb the 'mental toxins' in this Styx, go in the direction I pointed."

This guy has learned to be smart.

Gu Shen didn't say anything. With the iron law constraints of the Ruler Space, he wasn't worried about the devil playing tricks on him.

The transaction had already been reached.

It had to lead the way for him, and that light spot must be where the mental toxins were located!

It was just that Gu Shen didn't know what dangers existed in the location of the light spot.

The original transaction didn't require the devil to guarantee his safety.

Gu Shen was wary of this.

He swam slowly towards the location of the light spot, holding the protection of the Goddess of Fate, sensing silently.

The cross pendant emitted a faint light.

In this black river, it was full of weirdness and mystery... The mental fluctuations from the pendant had been very vigilant.

Originally on the snowy mountain, the guidance given by the pendant could still roughly identify the direction.

But at this moment.

The pendant seemed to have lost the power to distinguish specific dangers, or perhaps there were dangers in all directions of this Styx...

Gu Shen decided to slowly advance towards the light spot.

However, in less than a minute, the devil spoke.

"Hey Gu, for the sake of this smooth transaction..."

It sat on the throne, propped its elbow and watched the good show, and said leisurely, "I'll give you a message."

Gu Shen had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"There's more than just you in this Styx."

The devil reminded him, not minding the trouble, "At your current speed, I'm afraid you'll soon be caught up by that Son of Light."

……

……

Meng Xiao stood at the foot of the snow mountain, on the bank of the Styx.

Even though the light all over his body had been restrained, the black snow from the top of the snow mountain still didn't fall on his shoulders... A layer of invisible, extremely faint light dust covered his robes.

Although the Light Divine Seat had not descended, the blessing of light was still there!

His time was running out.

The black snow on the top of the mountain was coming fiercely and becoming more and more crazy.

At this moment, he only had one way.

That was... to jump into this Styx.

This black river was filled with weirdness, and even a glance would make people feel uncomfortable.

This black river water was full of "mental toxins." Meng Xiao knew very well that his act of summoning the Light Divine Seat was equivalent to tearing his face with North Continent... In this case, he didn't expect the North Continent Empress to take action to detoxify him.

In fact, he had no choice.

If he failed to invite the god on the Black Snow Mountain top, it would be impossible for him to return the same way... The Empress was very likely sitting in the ancient castle, controlling and watching everything that happened in this disaster zone. If he wanted to escape the will of the gods, he had to step into the second half of the Doru River. This strange river could shield all Qi, at least for a short time, the power of North Continent would not be able to interfere with him... Before setting off.

He used the power of the bracelet again, wanting to see the future of the disaster in the distance.

Blazing light rolled.

The young man on the bank of the Black River closed his eyes.

In his spiritual sea, countless fragments evolved and converged...

That scene appeared again.

Above the Black River, a figure in black.

Gu Shen!

His "disaster" guidance once again led to Gu Shen. This scene didn't change much from before the start of the mission, which meant that his previous chase on Black Snow Mountain... didn't change this future.

Meng Xiao opened his eyes, his expression a little gloomy.

He knew that he had made a very stupid mistake on the top of the mountain.

That was giving Gu Shen a chance to breathe.

But who would have thought that "inviting a god" could fail?

"Gu Shen... I will kill you!"

Taking a deep breath.

Meng Xiao looked up at the black snow falling from the vault, he no longer hesitated, and jumped directly into the Black River.

His mental strength couldn't spread in the Black River.

But it didn't matter!

This bracelet could provide "disaster divination," and it could also provide unreasonable Qi guidance... After using the power of the bracelet, the darkness in front of Meng Xiao didn't change, but in the darkness, a faint light spot slowly emerged!

He knew that was Gu Shen's location!

……

……

"This Styx shields all spirits... How can he find me?"

Gu Shen didn't believe the devil's words immediately after hearing them.

He doubted the credibility of these words.

He was the King of the Underworld!

Logically speaking... the previous King of the Underworld was dead, and the ultimate ownership of this Styx should belong to him.

Even so, Gu Shen's mental strength couldn't spread, and it was difficult to see things within a hundred meters.

And Meng Xiao, this guy was burning with the blessing of light all over his body. As long as he stepped into the Styx, he would be entangled by the curse of disaster... How could he lock onto his location?

"Yes... you are a genius, a monster, with adventures and treasures."

The devil asked with a smile, "But isn't Meng Xiao? Don't you allow others to have a little bit of means to find you, lock you... and then kill you?"

Gu Shen was silent.

He probably guessed the reason.

It seemed that the sealed item on Meng Xiao's body was really heaven-defying.

However, what was even more heaven-defying was the devil in the Ruler.

This Styx sealed spirits, and even the will of the Divine Seat couldn't penetrate it... How could it do it, being in the Ruler, yet being able to see the scene outside the Styx?

"Young man... sometimes, what you have to do is believe first."

The devil began to talkative again.

It smiled happily: "Although you call me 'devil' in your heart, but think about it carefully, which thing I did wasn't for your own good?"

Believe first?

I believe you, my foot... Gu Shen sneered, he had no time to pay attention to the guy in the Ruler, concentrated his mind, and focused on rushing.

Only.

After the devil reminded him, the pendant quickly issued a warning.

It clearly told him... there was danger approaching from behind.

Meng Xiao, entered the river!

……

……

Above the Doru River disaster zone, dark clouds reappeared... The vision of the magnificent pillar of light supporting the sky didn't last long. After only a few tens of minutes, it dissipated... Osmond and Lin Lin in the main control boat breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they didn't know what happened.

But it seemed that... the descent of the Light Divine Seat had failed.

"Her Majesty the Queen didn't take action at all."

Osmond looked at the main screen and fell into thought. He murmured, "No... not to mention taking action, she didn't even have the slightest intention of showing up..."

Could it be that all of this was under the control of the Queen?

"Signal maintenance in progress..."

The spiritual network that originally covered a large area of the disaster zone was directly paralyzed when the pillar of light descended.

Only some basic functions that didn't require network connection could be used.

Missions between transcendents were really necessary. When all the spiritual links were broken, the main control boat instantly became an isolated island. However, Osmond and Lin Lin didn't feel any danger... Their own strength was strong enough. More important than the main control boat being isolated was the safety of other teams.

After the pillar of light dissipated, the communication was fully restored and began to self-repair at an accelerated speed.

A few seconds later.

"Di, maintenance completed, signal restored."

One picture after another was transmitted back from the laid electronic eyes. The communication of the teams not in the broken link area also returned to normal one by one!

"The Juling team is on its way back!"

"The Shenlin team is about to arrive at the main control boat!"

One request after another to initiate spiritual links poured into the main control room. Osmond and Lin Lin chose to connect them all. The two commanders began to connect, contact, and communicate with the captains about what had happened during this time... In fact, when the vision of the descent of the Light Divine Seat appeared, several teams had already chosen to withdraw from the tributary rivers!

The combat members selected for this restart mission had extremely high individual qualities.

In fact, in most cases, even without the command of the main control boat, these captains could still make the right choice...

Returning was absolutely not wrong!

After a conversation, the main control boat issued a recall order to all teams.

Fortunately, during this period of lost contact, no team encountered an attack from a suspected unknown creature.

The thing that Osmond was most worried about didn't happen!

"Fourteen teams, who else hasn't connected to the link?"

After resting for a while, Osmond suddenly spoke. He had contacted most of the captains, but it seemed that he had missed a few.

"Meng Xiao, Zhong Yuan, Mu Wanqiu."

Lin Lin responded extremely quickly. He said calmly, "It's impossible for Meng Xiao to connect to the link... After causing the commotion on Black Snow Mountain, I'm afraid he has made preparations for the follow-up measures."

"Mu Wanqiu, the exploration mission location that their team is responsible for is a bit far from the main boat, and the route is a bit strange, so it may still be in the broken link area." Lin Lin analyzed slowly, "The strength of this team is the strongest. I think the possibility of an accident is very low."

Osmond nodded slowly.

The captain of the First Investigation Corps, Lu Zhe!

This guy should be the most powerful transcendent in this entire restart mission!

Plus an "S-level" judge.

This team was also the one he was most relieved about.

"Only Zhong Yuan is left..."

Osmond's face became vaguely serious.

He knew that the routes of these two teams were the same!

Meng Xiao summoned the "Light Divine Seat" on Black Snow Mountain... there was likely a battle.

Osmond took a deep breath and became a little anxious. He took the initiative to request a spiritual link with Zhong Yuan, but was immediately rejected. This Eye of the Third Corps was vaguely unable to sit still. Certain terrifying and terrible images came to his mind.

Zhong Yuan, this young man, and Gu Shen... were all very good, protégés that he admired.

Even if Gu Shen didn't belong to North Continent, he couldn't have an accident here.

"I'm going out."

Osmond took a deep breath and said with a gloomy expression.

However, before he could stand up.

"Ding-dong—"

The next second, a prompt sound of the hatch opening outside the main control boat sounded.

The visitor passed the identity recognition of the main control boat.

Only captain-level figures had this permission!

"Lord Osmond, I have returned with my team..."

Zhong Yuan, holding the removed Source Armor helmet, stopped halfway through his words. He was slightly stunned and looked blankly at Osmond, whose face showed displeasure.

Lin Lin winked.

Zhong Yuan immediately understood and apologized: "Sorry... because I was too close, I hung up your spiritual link request just now."

He had already entered the main control boat when that spiritual link request popped up.

Osmond saw the blond man, and the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground. His expression softened a lot, but he still criticized in a deep voice: "No matter what the situation is in the future, don't hang up the spiritual link from a superior!"

"You don't know how worried Lord Osmond was just now. If it had been later, he probably would have set off himself." Lin Lin reminded him.

Zhong Yuan was grateful and apologized again: "Sorry... Your Excellency, this kind of thing won't happen again next time."

"It's good that you're okay..."

Osmond waved his hand. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the members of Zhong Yuan's team. He found that one was missing, and his face became serious again: "Where's Gu Shen?"

Zhong Yuan said seriously: "I came back to report this matter."

……

……

In less than an hour, the captains who had been scattered to carry out their missions reunited and returned to the main control boat under Osmond's call.

Zhong Yuan roughly recounted what had happened on Black Snow Mountain.

Zhong Yuan didn't hold back anything about the existence of "Mirror Dream" and the forbidden rules he had explored.

He had successfully overcome his inner demons!

The entire team had completed the mission... but this wasn't the most important thing in this report!

The most important thing was what Meng Xiao had done on Black Snow Mountain.

"Are you saying that Duke Zhen Yue violated the iron law of North Continent... and chose to attack a comrade?"

A trace of murderous intent appeared in Fischer's dead fish eyes.

Although Gu Shen was a privileged person... he had joined the restart mission to serve North Continent. Being on the same battlefield, in his eyes, this was a "comrade"!

"Yes."

Zhong Yuan said in a low voice, "Everyone must have seen the scene of the pillar of light descending just now... That was the vision of the descent of the Light God. Although I wasn't at the top of the mountain, I can vaguely guess what happened. These two must have fought together."

Several captains nodded.

Everyone felt the descent and shock of the light.

Soon, Fischer spoke: "Are you sure that Gu Shen and Meng Xiao fought?"

Zhong Yuan was slightly stunned.

Fischer asked in confusion, "If it was a battle of gods... then why didn't I feel the aura of the 'Fighting God'? If it wasn't a battle of gods, Xiao Gu is only a seventh-level transcendent, how could he fight the entire Meng Xiao team?"

The main control boat suddenly fell silent.

The captains looked at each other, and no one could explain the question that the living fish had thrown out.

Even Osmond fell silent.
